I think I've mentioned this before recently, but FYI: this was tracked
down to a bug in OpenLDAP (which Evo Exchange uses to connect to the
Exchange Global Address Server).  This same bug was causing all kinds of
other issues in places like xscreensaver, etc.  See this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/openldap2.3/+bug/215904

and this:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512605

A fix for this has been uploaded to the Hardy "proposed" repository
within the last day or two.  "Proposed" is not enabled by default but
it's easy to enable (go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources,
the Updates tab, and select "Pre-released updates (hardy-proposed)").

With this package update, Evo Exchange on Hardy has been very stable for
me.

FWIW, YMMV, etc.
